Abstract: Fibrillating a web of textile fabric (3) containing cellulose fibres, particularly Lyocell (RTM) fibres, comprises using a high-velocity stream of fluid impinging on the spread-out web and accelerating it to strike against an impact surface (13, 16). This procedure is repeated as often as needed till the fibre surface regions split and form fibrils. Also claimed is the apparatus for implementing the process of fibrillating web as above, in particular Tencel (RTM) fibres. The web is accelerated by the flowing fluid in a guiding gap (7) which is bounded on at least one side by a jet (9a, 9b, 10a, 10b) which has a fluid feed channel (12) and, on two opposite sides, a nozzle-like gap exit (10a, 10b) which narrows towards the guide gap. There is a valve (11) which closes each of the exits alternately.

Abstract: The invention relates to a kite (2) having a cover sheet (6) which is bordered on the periphery by an edge (18) supporting and accommodating the functional joints and members of the kite (2). Since all the functional joints and members of the kite (2) have been moved towards the peripheral edge (18), the surface of the cover sheet is free of any joints, openings or the like, i.e. the form of said surface can be artistic at will. In contrast to a painted cover sheet, high quality motifs which are aesthetically very attractive can also be permanently applied in a particularly rapid and economical manner e.g. by silk screen printing. Moving the attachment points (AN) of the flying lines to the outer ends of the frame (4) is particularly advantageous in that when the kite (2) is hung on the wall as a work of art, said flying lines do not hang down over the front of the cover sheet (6) with the applied motif and spoil the overall effect. Despite the move away from traditional and currently advocated structures, flying a kite designed according to the teaching of the present invention poses no problems.

Abstract: A method of predicting, during the production of paper or paperboard, the concentration of one or several particular volatile organic compound(s) (VOC) which is (are) emitted by the finished pulp, paper or paperboard product, is described. In the method the concentration of one or several particular VOC is determined in the gas/vapor phase emitted by the pulp, paper or paperboard web during production. The determination can be performed with the aid of infrared spectroscopy or thermal description gas chromatography during the production, and the obtained results of the measurement can be compared with the reference values obtained by analyses of the finished pulp, paper or paperboard product for calibration of the method. Preferably the comparison is performed with the aid of a computer. Good correlation between results obtained during production and results obtained for finished product has been established.

Abstract: A process for the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently labeled biological cells involves contacting a cell layer on a transparent support at the bottom of a reaction vessel with a solution containing the fluorescent dye. This process can also be used for improving the sensitivity in the quantitative optical analysis of a luminescent biological cell layer. Analogously, these process principles can also be used in receptor studies for the masking of the interfering background radiation in the quantitative optical analysis of fluorescently or luminescently labelled reaction components. In this case, a receptor layer at the bottom of a reaction vessel is in contact with a solution in which a fluorescent or luminescent ligand is dissolved.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for displacing or rotating at least two components (10, 11) relative to each other, said device having a coupled gear which comprises a pressure element (16a). The pressure element (16a) urges rolling bodies, which move in mountings (14a) in a rolling body cage transversely to the direction of displacement (x), so that they can mesh with various parts of a transmission element (17). The division ratio of the mutual spacings between the parts which can mesh is at least slightly different from that of the spacings between the mountings (14a) for the rolling member cage (14). Since the parts which can mesh take the form of conical or frustoconical bores (17a) on whose flanks (17b) the rolling bodes support one component on one face which is parallel to the face in which the bores (17a) are provided, high forces can be transmitted.

Abstract: The dispenser enables a multiplicity of doses of a substance in powder or granular form contained in a reservoir to be dispensed in succession.
